Dl I0 HE DENTAL Di-1PAR'1'MicN'1', consisting of one oilicer and two trained technicians, certainly can't claim to be the largest di- vision on the ship, but none are smaller. The claim of the Most Popular or Most Important can't be made, either, although-when a fella secumbs to probably the most com- mon American illness, the toothache, and needs a friend - he finds there are good friends aboard to help. Jack D. Voigt, DT3, USN, hails from Madison, XfVisconsin and reported aboard from the Marine Base, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He efficiently holds down the routine end of departmental book work, the supply accounts, records, and in addition, gives many prophylactic cleanings or scalings, one of the services the Dental Division gladly performs. James S. Carpenter, DN, USN, the newest addition to our happy tsome people may question thisy home, is from Eugene, Oregon, and just made his technician's rating at the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, prior to report- ing' aboard a month ht-lore this cruise. Carpenter assists Dr, Hamilton, the Dental Ollicer, in providing dental care to the ship's M00 crew members. Lieutenant KIDVZIVCI' R. lHlainilton, DC, USN, is the 5fgfgf,m1 Dental Ollicer ordered to the l.l.S.S. XVORCliS'IlIiR since its commissioning' on 26 .june 1918, and is beginning his third tour of sea duty. Another mid-westerner, Dr. Hamilton comes from Highland Park, lllinois. He joined this Vagabond ship when he was detached from the Naval Air Station at Alameda, California. Toothaches, operative dentistry, fof silver and silicatej ex- tractions, and situations requiring' surgery are competently cared for in the ship's air conditioned Dental Ofiiceg one that is -as fully equipped for its type of work as could be found anywhere ashore. Good dental health and hygiene are rapidly growing in importance to the men of the Navy, and the WOR- CESTER Dental Department prides itself on participating in the reaching of this goal. ,sf 9' . f ii' 4. , ' 'iw ' ,' 1 f . f ,' Wwfha ff , ' f f ,gf 1, J I ,V ' f ,WW ' ' f y , 1-223 ' 6 ' f 1 .. :L 0174? : . , 17, .531 'Ng 'Ir Jziek D.

The II1aStC1'-at-arllls force is the police force of the ship and comes directly under the Executive Officer, Commander H. Davis, USN, for this highly important function. In fulfilling their duties, the master-at-arms do not interfere with the in- 1 1 l ,k First Row: Frank A. Di0rio, SA: Andrew H. Volcnko, FA: John L. Ferrara, SN: William D.

The ship's chief mas- ter-at-arms, by virtue of his office, is to be considered as the senior enlisted man on board ship for the purpose of en- forcement of internal discipline. His duties are laid down in Navy Regulations and are many and important. As many additional master-at-arms as the Executive Officer may deem necessary to maintain good order and discipline and to exe- cute the ship's routine are assigned to the master-at-arms force as a permanent detail. The messman assists in the preparation and service of food to the crew, they wash and sterilize the eating utensils: they scrub the mess tables, benches and the mess hallsg they break out provisions from the ship's storerooms under the super- vision of the commissary personnel, these and a thousand and one other tasks are their daily chores. Like the proverbial housekeeper, although they work from sun to sun, yet their work is never done. as... ' gglg. N 'Yr - ' 1 if A .
